Chapter 558: Chapter 314 Strategy_1 Chapter 558: Chapter 314 Strategy_1 Half a day later.
Inside Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling, Ye Pinghai and Lin Shihua were seated opposite each other.
At this mont, the four of them had calm expressions, except for Lin Shikang, whose face was slightly pale; the others had their aura withdrawn, and they all seed to be in good spirits.
“Third Brother, how are your injuries? Are they serious?”
Lin Shigong, who had been called back from outside the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory by Lin Shihua, asked with a concerned tone, his face showing so worry.
Seeing Lin Shigong’s anxious look, warmth filled Lin Shikang’s heart.
There weren’t many of the “Shi”-generation left in the Lin Family and they were always very close. Lin Shigong had always been very supportive of him. The fact that he was more concerned about his injuries than the matter of the demon beasts showed his genuine concern.
...
With these thoughts, Lin Shikang looked at Lin Shigong and the others and then showed a comforting smile.
“Hehe… I’m alright for now, just need to rest for about a month, and I should be healed.”
Hearing his understatent, combined with his genuine expression, Lin Shigong and the others finally felt relieved.
Following that, they congratulated Ye Pinghai with joined hands.
Ye Pinghai responded with a light smile, without any airs of a Golden Core Cultivator, and repeated the conversation he had with Lin Shikang to Lin Shigong and the others.
He also stated that Lin Shigong and the others would always be his sworn brothers, regardless of their cultivation or strength, and insisted they shouldn’t be too formal with him.
Hearing his heartfelt speech, Lin Shigong and the other person felt excited and sowhat moved.
Having sworn brotherhood, and with Ye Pinghai’s emphasis on loyalty—coupled with his Early Stage Golden Core strength—it had significant implications for the Lin Family at the mont.
The efforts previously made by the Lin Family were finally paying off.
Thinking of this, the people in the Lin Family felt very excited and almost forgot about the matter of the Tyrant Spirit Ape dying in their territory.
Lin Shikang was the first to regain his composure and interrupted the excited Lin Shigong and the others.
Snapped back to reality, Lin Shihua rembered sothing and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tyrant Spirit Ape and the Wind Dusk Beast.
At this ti, Lin Shikang’s expression suddenly beca solemn, his face turning a bit paler.
He sighed helplessly and then inford Lin Shihua and the other person about the whole course of the battle.
Hearing that both the Tyrant Spirit Ape and the Wind Dusk Beast had been killed, it shocked Lin Shihua and the other person beyond all asure.
“Third Brother, is this news true?”
Lin Shigong couldn’t seem to believe it and asked again in a questioning tone.
Clearly, his expression couldn’t be faulted.
Indeed, the news was too astonishing and unbelievable.
One must know that the fall of a Third Order Demon Beast was a huge event that usually only occurred during rare chances in a beast tide and was almost unheard of at other tis.
At least the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World had not heard any news of a Third Order Demon Beast or a Golden Core Cultivator’s death in decades.
And now, two Third Order Demon Beasts had died in the Green Bamboo Mountain Tribe Territory, which was beyond their comprehension.
It wasn’t just them; if this news were to spread throughout the Cultivation World, it would undoubtedly astonish many.
At this mont, Lin Shihua spoke up, “Ninth Brother, Third Brother has always been prudent. Since he has personally recounted the events, he would not deceive us.”
“Besides, given the gravity of this situation, how could Third Brother make a joke of it!”
Hearing this, Lin Shigong took a deep breath and accepted the reality.
Having cald down sowhat, both Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua displayed worried expressions, clearly realizing the potential crisis behind this event.
Now, Lin Shihua let out a bitter laugh and got straight to the point.
“Now that things have co to this, the question is how to deal with the bodies of these two demon beasts, and how to handle the investigation by the Zhenyang Sect!”
Upon this statent, they each frowned deeply and fell into contemplation.
Being a witness, Lin Shihua was clear about the cause and the course of events and secretly had so counterasures in mind.
After a long while, they still remained silent, so Lin Shihua took the initiative to break the brief quiet.
“Third Brother, if we proactively hand over the corpses and inner cores of the Third Order Demon Beasts, can this matter be considered resolved?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shigong chid in.
“Yes… after all, our Lin Family was also involuntarily involved and even assisted in killing the Wind Dusk Beast while suffering so losses.”
“Although both demon beasts have perished, the death of the Tyrant Spirit Ape has no direct connection to our Lin Family!”
“Hehe…”
Ye, who had been silent, smiled faintly and then spoke up, “The two elder brothers have oversimplified the matter!”
“If any suspicion were to fall on the Lin Family, given my understanding of the Zhenyang Sect, the Lin Family’s explanation would likely not convince them.”
“Furthermore, even if you proactively surrender the bodies and inner cores of the demon beasts, the Zhenyang Sect would not consider the difficult position the Lin Family was in at the ti, after all, what died were Third Order Demon Beasts.”
“In that case, taking the initiative to report the matter would probably not be feasible!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the previously silent Lin Shikang nodded and added his agreent.
“Ye is right. The matter is now set, and hoping that the Zhenyang Sect will let us off easily is perhaps too optimistic.”
Hearing this, Lin Shihua and the other person fell silent again, pondering the feasibility of the situation.
